Greetings!
Meloxicam is a NSAID and it interacts with multiple drugs.
Since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (aspirin, NSAIDs such as celecoxib, ibuprofen, or ketorolac) and all these drugs are similar to meloxicam; it may increase your risk of side effects if taken together.
Also, meloxicam increases the risk of bleeding if taken with anti-platelet drugs (clopidogrel) or blood thinners like dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin. Hence it would be better if you make a list of drugs you take and consult your physician regarding their effects when taken together with meloxicam.
